It ’s been a while since we got a new Apple Watch SE : after the first variation of Apple ’s budget smartwatch get along out in 2020 and the 2d in 2022 with few changes , the company has kept quiet about further releases . But new reports suggest we ’re finally going to see the 3rd - gen SE later in 2025 , and that it will come in two new size of it .
On Tuesday , Ross Young , a remarkablyreliableleaker and analyst who covers the screen door supplying chain , tweetedthat two Apple Watch SE display have get in production . ( The tweet is for reader only . ) The video display , he forecast , assess roughly 1.6 and 1.8 inches respectively .
It ’s not easy to make a unmediated comparison between those numbers and the ones that apply to the current SE model , because Apple gives the spec for its smartwatch in a unlike format – as the height of the shell , rather than the aslant measurement of the screen we ’d expect for all other products . For screen dimensions , we have to make do with the various third - party measure you ’ll chance across the entanglement , which alter from site to site . But irrespective of the reservoir you utilize , it looks like the new SE model are probably moving from a Series 6 body to a Series 7 . Which plausibly means a coinciding replacement from 40 mm and 44 millimetre case to 41 and 45 mm .
Aside from pointing to a thin increase in size , there have been long - time rumor of a newplastic chassis design , though morerecent reports shed some doubton that anticipation and left the future of the line in limbo . The report does n’t mention any other features , though it seems probable that the SE will lastly get an always - on display , as well as a new C.P.U. , and perchance a temperature or ECG detector .
But it seems like we can look beforehand to a new Apple Watch SE in September , alongside the Series 11 ( and mayhap the Ultra 3 , although if that flummox with a two-year release schedule , the Ultra and SE line could in future get updates in alternate falls ) and the iPhone 17 . For all the latest word and rumors , check out our pathfinder to thenew Apple Watchesfor 2025 .
